DOI: 10.5252/g2011n2a3. ABSTRACT 46 samples were processed for a taxonomic ostracod study from the LowerMiddle Triassic (Smithian to Anisian) of South Tibet. Forty four species belonging to 15 genera are recognized. One genus and seven species are described as new: Bairdia jeancharlesi Forel n. sp., Bairdia letangae Forel n. sp., Bairdiacypris combeae Forel n. sp., Petasobairdia collini Forel n. sp., Hungarella tulongensis Crasquin n. sp., Triassicindivisia tibetinella Crasquin n. gen., n. sp., Liuzhinia larmae Forel n. sp. Th e goal of this paper is to describe the new taxa as a preliminary step to palaeoenvironmental reconstruction.

INTRODUCTION GEOLOGICAL SETTING Th e Tulong section was located on the North Indian margin during the Early Triassic. It crops out near the village of Tulong (28°26’13’’N, 86°08’09’’E; 4430 m) on the road from Lhasa to Nyalam (Fig. 1). Th is section is well known for its Lower Triassic succession in South Tibet. It was described by Garzanti et al. (1998) and more recently by Shen et al. (2006). More recently, the Permian-Triassic interval in this area was restudied by a team from Zurich (Switzerland) and the stratigraphic succession obtained from other outcrops allow establishment of an almost complete succession from the Upper Permian up to the Lower Anisian (Brühwiler et al. 2009). Th e Tulong section corresponds to units III to VI of the Tulong Formation and is very well dated by ammonoids and conodonts (Brühwiler et al. 2009). It is beyond the scope of this paper to re-describe the section in detail. Th e following short presentation of the section (Fig. 2) is based on Brühwiler et al. (2009). Th e unit III corresponds to 9 m of mostly grey limestone beds alternating with thin shale intervals. It is subdivided in four sub-units. Th e sub-unit IIIa is composed of 1.60 m of red-weathering dolomitized calcarenite and grey packstones and is Smithian in age (based on conodonts); this subunit was not sampled. Th e sub-unit IIIb consists of 20 m of thin-bedded, platy to nodular, grey to light red limestones alternating with shale interbeds and is Middle Smithian in age (conodonts). Th e sub-unit IIIc is 4 m thick and is composed of medium bedded grey limestone alternating with shales or very nodular marly limestone. Th e lower part of sub-unit IIIc contains middle Smithian ammonoids and the upper part late Smithian ammonoids. Th e sub-unit IIId consists of 1 m of massive very nodular marly limestone of latest Smithian age (ammonoids and conodonts).

Th e last unit, unit VI, consists of 1 m of thinbedded yellowish nodular limestones overlain by less than 1 m of grey and yellowish limestone. Th e last beds contain early middle Anisian ammonoids. MATERIAL AND METHOD Forty six samples, distributed through a 21 m thick sequence (Fig. 2), were processed by hot acetolysis method (Lethiers & Crasquin-Soleau 1988; Crasquin-Soleau et al. 2005) which allows the extraction of calcareous shells contained in calcareous rocks. Twenty-nine samples gave ostracods; three of them yielded only indeterminable specimens. Except for several specimens, in most of cases, the preservation of ostracods is poor and the number of specimens is low. Internal features were not observed. Forty four species belonging to 15 genera are identifi ed and fi gured (Figs 3-8). Seven species and one genus are new and described in detail in this paper. Other indicative species are also fi gured (Figs 3-8) and a complete list is available in Table 1. All the specimens are deposited in the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris (UPMC) collection (numbers: P6Mxx).

REMARKS Bairdia jeancharlesi Forel n. sp. is close to Bairdia cassiana rotundidorsata Monostori, 1995 from the Anisian of Balaton area (Hungary; Monostori 1995). Here, the carapace is shorter, the overlap is weaker and the DB and PDB are more inclined posteriorly. Bairdia letangae Forel n. sp.

A massive species of ornamented Bairdia with AB and PB fl attened, large reticulation on all the carapace except the dorsal margin. DESCRIPTION At RV, PDB straight, DB long and more or less horizontal, ADB straight to gently concave. At LV all dorsal parts form a regular arch. AB with quite small radius of curvature; AVB and PDB regularly arched; VB straight at LV, gently concave RV; PB with medium radius of curvature; maximum of curvature of PB and AB located at the same H; carapace strongly compressed along free margins and particularly in AB and PB; surface ornamented by a large reticulation, this reticulation is present on all the surface except for dorsal margins of both valves. REMARKS Bairdia letangae Forel n. sp. is similar to Bairdia ortiseiensis Crasquin, 2008 from the Late Permian of the Tesero section (Northern Italy; Crasquin et al. 2008). Here the DB is longer, the radius of curvature of AB is more important and the overlap is stronger. Compared to Lobobairdia zapfei Kozur, 1971 from the Anisian of Balaton area (Kozur 1971; Monostori 1995), Bairdia letangae Forel n. sp. has a straighter DB and reticulation present all over the carapace surface.

DESCRIPTION RV: PDB, DB and ADB straight; DB quite horizontal compared with VB; AB with medium radius of curvature, maximum of curvature at mid-H; VB nearly straight to gently concave; PB with very small radius of curvature and maximum of curvature located at mid H; LV: dorsal and ventral parts regularly arched; DB being more or less one third of length; presence of a dorsal blade. Carapace laterally compressed at AB, AVB, PVB and PB; LV overlaps RV on dorsal and ventral margins with maximum on DB; carapace ornamented by a very fi ne reticulation organized in fi ngerprint of fi ne ribs parallel to margins. REMARKS Petasobairdia collini Forel n. sp. is close to two Late Permian species from South China. Petasobairdia nantongensis Chen, 1982 (in Chen & Shi 1982) has a shorter VB, overlap less important on ADB and PDB, AB and PB are smaller.
